The food is not as great as before, so say my friend who recommended me there.It is my first time there and i must admit that it is a disappointing visit.We ordered three types of Ipoh Kway Teow Soup (They spell differently). I had tried the Kway Teow with the white chicken on a side dish. When the Kway Teow Soup was served, I can smell something funny. Since this was the first dish to be served, it is likely that the smell come from this dish. I get closer to the soup to confirm the smell is from there. I try to taste it and to my disappointment, it taste the same as it smell, bad. I was expecting some good soup, maybe chicken base, that is comparable to Old Town (Kuala Lumpur). Apart from the weird taste, there is nothing making the kway teow soup to stand out. Rather blend, i had to add chilli, pepper and the sauce from the chicken to improve the taste. Disappointing, I must say. To their credit, the chicken drumstick meat taste pretty good. That's about it.
We also ordered Taufu Telur (spelling according to their menu) and that is another wrong move. When the food was served, there is a foul smell coming from the dish. Judging from the taste and smell, it is likely due to the re-used oil. It is a very oily and sick smell, if you know what i mean. This dish is super duper oily with little Toufu in it. In the end, we try to pick out the toufu hidden and leave the rest of the deep fried 'toufu skin' on the plate. This must be the worst Taufu Telur i ever have. Yucks. Disgusted.The drinks of mojito and blended cucumber does not help. Mojito was on the safe side while the blended cucumber tasted a little bitter and sour (suspecting lemon was added). The cucumber is not as smoothing as i love, due to the ice and cucumber. We also ordered a Cendol that seems to be the best among the rest. It is just a normal cendol without much decorations. Taste sweet, like other Cendol. Safe.
Honestly, I am unlikely to return for a second try with this kind of standard of food. Not Recommended.

Thinking of having some local and Malaysian delights, I trotted down to PapaMia in River Valley.

I recommend starting with a dumpling soup and an otak otak fried egg. If you are into soups, go for the chicken kway teow.

However, if your body can afford something richer, go all the way with the nasi lemak and curry chicken. The sambal sauce is the killer here and the food has a good level of coconut milk in its ingredients - making these dishes tasty although a couple of servings would make your heart beat faster.

To end the meal, wash it all down with a warm lemon honey - PapaMia is a no frills place where one can relax and enjoy quality local fare.

Intended to eat at Boon Tong Kee along River Valley rd, but found it closed for a snooze in the afternoon, popped into this place by chance and had a chance to try their "Malaysian" style food.

Ambience: A refurbished old stall, now decked out in modern counter, chairs, tables etc. cool place, with aircon but faces a construction site - so noisy. Sit upstairs if you want to escape the noise.

Food: It was originally the famous Ipoh hor fun stall which moved now does not exist. This old stall sold the best curry chicken hor fun and we enjoyed it. They now have the same Ipoh hor fun served in a bowl with a side dish of chicken which we tried. It was pretty good, and a surprise. I also ordered the Tauhu telor which used egg tofu fried in a egg batter. Tasty but I prefer them to use the ordinary white tofu, not the egg vareity.

Value: If you plus 10 and 7, the price goes up by 17%. Not so good value after that.

Service: Friendly and knowledgeable.
